CHAPTER VIII.
1t was terrible scene-a fearful battle
and all the more horrib3 because it
was waged, not by the red men against
their natural enemies, the ? .e-faces, but
by brother against brotheI-the Lipan
against the COmsnche.
There, in the wild mountein gorge of
the Charrate, where first We +aW them in
their camp, the band OF \ mehaha and
Lagona mad been attacked B.; the venge-
full Lipans, who sought reps 4tion for the
rough usage which they hal received at
the hands of LagOna and rs temporary
allies, the rangers. And from early
dawn, until the miSts Ofeveni g were gath

''Why should we war about w0man?"
the old man cried. "We are fools and
have forgotten wisdom? l have lost my
son by the hands of Lagona; he has gone
to the happy hunting grounds and can
not call him back. But 1 will not mourn
for him. Let US fight no more. I have
q daughter who is star in the sky
of beauty. Let Lagona take Agar, my
child, and be son to me in the place of
Pekito. 1 am a withered tree; l shall
soon fall down and be seen no more; and
